I am selling my 1972 MacGregor Venture 222 ‘Retreat’ after owning it for nearly 14 years. It is a swing keel trailer sailor.
It has been restored over ten years ago.
I’ve sailed it in GA (mostly lake sailing), in the Gulf and Atlantic part of FL, the GA coast, and the SC coast. It is one of the best pulling and easiest to set up sailboats out there.
You won’t find an easier getaway that can sail the coast or lake and can sit in your backyard.
The towing weight is just under 3,000 lbs.
The boat features a pop-top that allows 6’ of standing headroom inside and a nice breeze while inside the cabin.
All navigation and trailer lights work.

The boat has one soft spot on the bow about 3”across that’s been there for years. Some of the topsides could use a touch up, but it’s really the only thing wrong with it.
